When it came to designing their latest fairway woods Titleist had a few things they wanted to zone in on. Flight, Feel, Form and Forgiveness.
Titleist TSR fairway woods: The Technology
The shaping of the new woods is very player informed. Not only do Titleist have a large pool of tour staff to learn from they also use feedback from all the club golfers they see in fittings throughout the season.
The flight was a hugely important area for Titleist to improve. After all, most club golfers struggle to flight a 3-wood properly and miss out on vital yardage by not getting enough height on their fairway wood shots.
Moving the centre of gravity was vital to making these woods easier to launch; each model has a slightly different CG to give each model different ball flight characteristics. The TSR2 has more weight lower, giving it the lowest CG in the range, making it the easiest to hit high.
On the other hand, the TSR3 is designed to launch slightly lower for players who want a more penetrating ball flight.
Repositioning the CG required Titleist to analyse all areas of the club to see where weight could be saved and moved into more optimal areas. This led to the development of Open Hosel Construction. This allowed excess weight, previously high and in the heel, to be moved lower and nearer the club face for more optimal launch and forgiveness.
